Original: Climate change may have contributed to a quarter of ER visits for heat-related illness from 2018-25, study finds
A new study finds that climate change may have contributed to roughly a quarter of emergency room visits for heat-related illness between 2018 and 2025. The findings suggest rising temperatures are already having a measurable impact on public health, with hospitals seeing significant numbers of patients whose heat-related conditions can be attributed to human-caused warming.
Why now: New research quantifying the direct health toll of climate change on hospital emergency rooms is drawing attention.
